Or a company can make a certain important product with no competition via collusion and other means, which are well known to anyone with even a cursory understanding of history. The end result can be quite the same. That's what monopolies do. It is trivial to show how your assertions are false.

No cartel had ever win with collusion in the marketplace. They all eventually self-destruct.

"Anti-trust" laws are used against smaller companies rather than large corporations because it is easier to bully smaller companies into submission.

Then the government turns around and give companies monopolies via patents and copyright. Now, they have a much easier time to maintain their cartel.

Government doesn't protect competition. It squashes competition.

Hmm...given the proficiency of many bitcoiner on here...I don't think you're going to find many who would appreciate your tutoring service?

Also, if you are willing to learn Perl I might consider your service to help on ubitio.us =) There is one particular feature I want to implement which will require building separate module which later planned to release to cpan.org.

Yeah, I am willing to learn perl.

so do you think we should drop it to only page size ads, then maybe drop the price to 35 or so since there is no lower level?

That's a fine suggestion. But do whatever you need to fill those slots and get us revenue. If somebody only want a page slot for 25 BTC, take it.

ah thanks for the heads up, question do I have any say over the ad formats? Because in my bidding pond thing I set up prices for size of ads http://www.biddingpond.com/item.php?id=254 I just want to know if that's alright or if I'm over stepping my bounds. Also any feedback would be great.

I dislike the idea of banners cluttering up my beautiful content pages.

The official (can I make things official? I'm assuming yes, because I'm awesome) Bitcoin Times wallet just received 25 bitcoins but I have not received any email or PM so if this is for an ad please PM or email me, if you don't tough cookies. Tongue

If this was just a generous anonymous patron thank you.

That's me. It's income from noagendamarket. He wish to advertise with us two times.

Yay! I got two more jobs!

I am 2/3 done on a project...would like more jobs!

I would love a direct democracy. <- The only true democracy.

And a direct democracy killed Socrates for corrupting the youth and for not believing in the gods!

No art today, because of school.

Tomorrow is PROJECT SMASHING DAY!

I am going to go ALL out to complete the project.

Here's what I am working on for the next version:

A basic accounting tab so you can get a pretty good overview on your income versus expense.

Today did not yield very good result since I don't know how to create a tab yet.

Counterfeiting is not a real crime. Putting ink on paper hurts no one.

The real crime is issuing notes promising to redeem for gold, breaking the promise, and maintaining the value of your pictures by force.

You're reasoning in nonsense! What if I counterfeit 1 trillion dollars and use it like nobody's business?

Also, I am underage, so not possible. xD This is the first time I hear about it. Is it a direct democracy? It sounds like so. Cheesy

Do you like democracy or something?

How do we know when to inflate and when to deflate? Huh

We don't. Let the market which kind of money/currency/etc is the best in the world.

Ya know why I like bitcoin? I can save and not have to worry about it losing value due to someone printing it. Why would I want to store my saving in inflatecoin?

Success. I didn't know that I was supposed to use my email address rather than my name.

* kiba is unfamiliar with cryptographic tool like GPG in general.

I think Bruce Wagner might be interested in such a service.

Code:

making backup...done
encrypting....usage: gpg [options] [filename]
failed

I believe it fails in the encryption stage.

Yo. I am using your code to create my own(As yours is under GPL, and mine was under MIT as I thought I couldn't license any more liberally than that).

It does things a little differently. I hope I didn't violate copyright law in older version of my code or as it is now. If it is, I will either remove the offending code or we could work out something. Or we could remove uncertainty of this matters by coming up with an agreement?

The magazine's next issue will now be posted on next Wednesday.

Will the editor please choose the submission deadline and provide for an email address by which writers can submit their article?

Also, advertisers will have the same deadline as the writers'. If you want to advertise in The Bitcoin Times, please speak with the editor.

(Now, Chris200x9...time to start your job!)

There were quite a few spelling mistakes, Kiba's byline is very repetitive and in my opinion unprofessional. Also I think the mention of operationfabulous' bug fixes on 1/19/11 is repetitive. Some things could have been worded better too IMO. Great job though

That's why we need an overzealous editor to frustrate us about our silly mistake!
